but I would like to have some docs to backup my statements. Can anyone point me to some docs? Some publications?

Given an audience of graphic designers and html-markup-ers I would not be looking for documentation and concepts such as "code-reusability" but instead prepare an interactive demonstration highlighting some of the labour-and-brain-saving features of Zope. Such as standard_html_header, and the way it can be acquired, and then perhaps extending this to dropping in a product like "Confera" (people love those web conferences) and showing how it acquires the local design. The other compelling feature for design type people might be Versions. -- | John J. Lehmann, johnl@axis.com.au + Vega said the plan was to ``keep this as grass-roots and intimate as + possible.

Hi!

I will have to give an internal presentation about application servers. I am a software developer and I have to explain what is actually an application server to a web-development group (mainly graphic desginers, html markets and GUI designers). I have to make clear why an app server is best than continue to develop traditional CGI-ish web sites.

I can think a lot of reasons (code reusability, delegation, etc) but I would like to have some docs to backup my statements. Can anyone point me to some docs? Some publications?
